I guess you could day that. Although no more “science fiction” than Popular Science through the years. Recall that this was during the Roaring 20s when technology promised to solve all of society’s ills.
I love to read the old Popular Science mags from the 20’s to the 50’s. From the “build your own airplane with that old Model T engine” to the “Is television really coming?” to the atomic cars, personal spaceships and condos on the moon, it’s a great look at the past. My personal favorite was a “Gus’ Garage” where Gus debated the value of 4-wheel brakes and stop lights on cars.
